It's personal information. They can't demand anything personal from you. That's just BS.
...and if you don't want to give it up don't use social media or just don't give them anything.

Its the exact same thing as having to provide a list of references to an employer, do you have a problem with that also?

I don't use social media sites, mainly because it seems to me like something for pre-teens, people with social anxiety disorder, or people with no jobs, homes to upkeep, children, friends, family, hobbies, video games, books or television. In other words, its the last option before simply giving up and becoming a junkie.
Anyhow, sorry, can't help but rant about how stupid I think antisocial media is, but "who cares?" - well, I don't use it, and I think most anyone above 10 who does should be embarassed, but I care. Would people care if their (not just their, but potentially ALL) employers required them to turn over all of their mail? How about turn in a tape once a week with their phone calls recorded and transcripts of any text mesages? If you're ok with the social media thing, you have to be on with the mail and phone thing as well.

After all, they are calling people and snooping for personal information about you, your ethics, I just had a friends prospective employer call me as a reference and ask if my friend was in any money trouble.
Same thing, its a tool for employers to find out information about somebody they are bringing into their company. Wouldn't you want to know about people if it was your company?
I sense a lot of hypocrisy in this thread.
